Begin by preparing the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, sweetener, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Rinse the romaine lettuce and baby spinach, then pat dry with paper towels. Chop the romaine into bite-sized pieces and combine with the spinach in a large salad bowl.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then grill for about 5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
Slice the strawberries and dice the avocado. Add them to the salad bowl along with the blueberries, roasted pecans, and crumbled feta cheese.
Arrange the grilled chicken slices on top of the salad.
Drizzle the homemade vinaigrette dressing over the salad just before serving and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately, ensuring each serving has a good mix of chicken, greens, fruit, nuts, and cheese.
